Unraveled Wednesday, July 12

I am working on getting back on track with my mystery shawl – slowly, getting back on track! I am almost done with Clue #2, which puts me only 3 weeks behind!

However, I did get a lovely distraction in the mail this week from Shepherd’s Lamb! They sent me 2 skeins of their new Organic Rambouillet yarn! Oh, my it is lovely! I especially love the natural dye colors! I have yarn from 2 different sheep – Rusty Nails and Acorns! The yarn is DK weight and has 180 yards per 2-ounce skein. I am thinking that this pattern might be the perfect thing for this yarn! The yarn has been minimally processed and has a lovely, but faint, sheepy smell! Stay tuned for the FO’s next week!

Now, on to reading – no finishes this week, but hopefully next week I will have a flurry of them! And, really – I need to kick it into high gear because I had a bunch of things come off hold at the library (of course!)

You are one busy knitter and reader! My Mystery shawl is barely off the ground, but I like it very much and would love to put more time into knitting the lace. It seems library books have a way of all coming up at once. Good luck with your reading!

Those Ferry Boat Mitts look thick warm and lovely. Good Choice.
I’m reading the Year of Living Bibically and laughing my way through it.
The author brings up Noah’s Ark and the rains often. He says it is interesting how toys are made of the ark for children and it really was not a playful time at all.

JUST (as in a couple minutes ago!!!) finished reading Homegoing….and LOVED it. Don’t know if it’s because we’re actually going to be in Ghana in the fall, or because the writing was beautiful, or the format interesting….probably all three, but I highly highly recommend this debut novel, in spite of the fact that it got some mixed reviews.
